Alrighty folks, welcome back to Season 2, Episode 1 on Transacting Value Podcast!
It’s a new year, and Jimmy joins Porter for a discussion about ambition, perseverance, and reflection – traits we will all need to follow through on those New Year’s resolutions…or any goal, for that matter.
The “bye” in the title of this episode, “Life Bye Legacy,” is intentional. It’s a farewell to what came before and an understanding of what happened in the past. It’s about being grateful for what brought you here but being ready to forge your own path.
Jimmy tells us about his father, a plumber, who was frugal, independent, and proud of his trade. And though he wanted something similar for Jimmy, Jimmy wanted something else for himself.
If you’re in a similar situation of choosing your direction in life:
- Identify what you’re interested in, what you’re good at.
- Identify what you want to accomplish.
- Start with the end in mind and then plan backward. Connect the dots as you move forward.
- Talk to someone about your plans once you identify them.
Jimmy found his passion in banking – specifically decentralized banking – cryptocurrencies. In addition to talking about Ireland’s economy, he gives us a primer on blockchain, cryptocurrencies, and when to take risks.
